1.) Unscrew the cap from the 10 mg Bee Venom vial.
2.) Point the 0.9% Na-Cl-syringe upward and unscrew the end cap.
3.) Pull down the plunger until it stops, to fill it with air.
4.) Screw back the end cap.
5.) Remove the plunger and knock down the bee venom into the syringe, put back the plunger.
6.) Shake the syringe to dissolve the bee venom.
7.) Detach the syringes end cap again.

12.) Push down the needle in the sterile vial and fill it with the solution.
13.) Pull out the needle and put back the safety cap.
Now you have sterile bee venom solution in a sterile vial.
Use insulin syringes to inject the bee venom solution.
How to use Bee Venom Solution
Start the first application with 0.1 - 0.2 ml or less, and after one week, or three applications, work up to 0.3 - 0.5 ml per injection.
Abort your treatment if you have too severe reactions.
Alternate the injection sites and follow a schedule of three times per week.
Normally Monday, Tuesday and Friday.
It's very important that you do subcutaneous injections, not intramuscular ones.

How to make a Subcutaneous (Sub-Q) Injection
Giving yourself a subcutaneous injection means inserting medication into the fatty areas just under your skin.
The needle used for a sub-Q injection is very small and doesn't cause much pain.
Many medications are given in this way.
Preparing a Work Area
Wash your hands for 1 to 2 minutes with liquid soap.
Clean your area with soap and water.
Collect the following items:
Selecting Your Injection Site
You may find the easiest and safest places to inject bee venom solution are these areas:
Avoid areas that are red, swollen, or bruised.
Rotate your injection sites. Choose a site that is at least 2 inches away from your last injection site.
Preparing the Bee Venom Solution
Check the bee venom solution in the vial for changes in color, debris, or cloudiness.
Don’t use the bee venom solution if you notice anything different about the contents of the vial.
Clean the rubber stopper on top of the vial with an alcohol wipe.

Preparing a Work Area
Wash your hands for 1 to 2 minutes with liquid soap.
Clean your area with soap and water.
Collect the following items:
- Your bee venom solution
- A sterile disposable syringe (don’t reuse your syringes)
- Alcohol wipes or swabs
- A puncture-proof plastic container to dispose of your used needles and syringes
Selecting Your Injection Site
You may find the easiest and safest places to inject bee venom solution are these areas:
- Back of the upper arms
- Upper thighs
- Abdomen, but avoid the belly button and waist area
Avoid areas that are red, swollen, or bruised.
Rotate your injection sites. Choose a site that is at least 2 inches away from your last injection site.
Preparing the Bee Venom Solution
Check the bee venom solution in the vial for changes in color, debris, or cloudiness.
Don’t use the bee venom solution if you notice anything different about the contents of the vial.
Clean the rubber stopper on top of the vial with an alcohol wipe.
Take the cap off the needle. Pull back the plunger, drawing air into the syringe.
The amount of air should be the same as the amount of bee venom solution you are going to inject.
Push the needle into the rubber stopper of the vial.
Once the needle is through the stopper, push the plunger on the syringe so that the air goes into the vial.
Keep the needle in the stopper and turn the vial upside down.
Keep the tip of the needle in the liquid and pull back on the plunger.
The bee venom solution will flow into the syringe.
Fill the syringe to your prescribed dose amount.
If you get too much, push some solution back into the vial with the plunger.
If you didn't get enough, continue pulling on the plunger.
Check for air bubbles in the syringe.
If you see air bubbles in the syringe, gently tap the syringe while the needle is still in the stopper.
The air bubbles will move to the top of the syringe.
Push the plunger slightly, and the air will go back into the vial.
Check to make sure the syringe contains the correct amount of bee venom solution.
Then pull the needle out of the vial.
Giving the Injection
Using an alcohol swab, clean the injection site.
Make sure the cleaned area is about 2 inches in diameter.
While the injection site dries, double-check that you have the right amount of bee venom solution in your syringe.
Place your thumb and forefinger on either side of the clean injection site.
Pinch up about 5 cm (2 inches) of skin.
The amount of air should be the same as the amount of bee venom solution you are going to inject.
Push the needle into the rubber stopper of the vial.

Place your thumb and forefinger on either side of the clean injection site.
Pinch up about 5 cm (2 inches) of skin.
Insert the needle at a 45° or 90° angle into the pinched-up skin.

Do this quickly; it will hurt less.
Be sure to insert the needle with the bevel up and insert all the way to the end of the needle.
This will help you inject the bee venom solution correctly.
Release the skin, holding the syringe in place.
To see if you are getting too deep you can pull back on the plunger.
If you see blood in the syringe, don’t inject.
This means that the needle has entered a blood vessel.
Withdraw the needle, select a new injection site, and repeat the steps above for preparing the site.
If there is no blood in the syringe, continue with the injection.
To inject the bee venom solution, slowly push the plunger all the way down.
After the Injection
Remove the needle from the skin and hold a gauze or cotton ball on the injection site for a few seconds.
Don’t rub the injection site.
If you see blood or clear fluid, press on the injection site with the gauze or cotton ball for 5 to 8 minutes.
Don’t rub while pressing.
Apply a bandage if you wish.
Put the empty syringe in the disposal container.
Record the site, date, and time of each injection.
Call your doctor right away if you have any of the following:
